Seth Lakeman Live on DVD

Televisionary’s latest live music project, Seth Lakeman Live at the Minack, hit the shops at the beginning of December. The 90-minute special captures the spirit of one of the country’s most electrifiying live performers in a one-off performance at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. Filmed in Hi-Definition for EMI Music, the concert features some of Seth’s best known songs in the unique cliff-top setting. “We were beaking new ground here”, says Director James Russell, who’s also worked with artists such as the Stereophonics, Lily Allen, the Verve and Snoop Dogg, “it’s the first time the Minack has been used for a project like this and we had to create a whole production infrastructure before we could film. But it was worth it – because the venue is nearly as big a star as Seth!” See a trailer for the DVD on the Live Events page of Televisionary’s website.
